Pretty cool spot. Prices are laughably high but it's nice to see a whole store dedicated to DIY prints/zines/swag/etc. in these trying times, in Manhattan! Plus they got some good tunes playing. Come through and bring your friends!

This is one impressive book shop. Their selection of zines, obscure art reviews and independent publishing is second to none. Their specialization on the art world will expose you to new art forms & artistes. Browsing their shelves is a true joy.
